B&C has partnered with always-on TV ad measurement and attribution company iSpot.tv to bring you a weekly chart we call Promo Mojo: exclusive data showing the top five TV promos ranked by ad impressions. This is the programming the networks have been promoting most heavily to drive tune-in (our data covers the seven-day period through June 7).
On the strength of just under 354 million TV ad impressions, a promo for National Geographic’s Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted is No. 1.
Once again, traditional broadcasters are entirely absent from our top five. Cable news rivals CNN and Fox News promote themselves in, respectively, second and fourth place, while USA Network hypes Dirty John: The Betty Broderick Story in third place and HGTV gives Good Bones some love in fifth.
Notably, the CNN promo has the highest iSpot Attention Index (135) in our ranking, getting 35% fewer interruptions than the average promo (interruptions include changing the channel, pulling up the guide, fast-forwarding or turning off the TV).
